I would suggest till you got your sea legs, kava in the evening, when you have no obligations or distractions and can really enjoy.
Otoh what I would do is call in sick and drink a 1/4 lb of it, but I'm a really sick bastard. You probably don't want to just yet.
Thats what I'm thinking, cheers Krunkie. What can I expect first time around? Effect wise I mean
Who knows? I drank kava daily for 2 months before feeling anything. Others get joyful bliss their first time. I drank a bunch of TFR yesterday soi can tell you what it's like when you're a seasoned kava drinker. Euphoria, then strong balanced pure pleasure.
It really is! You started off with a bang! Enjoy it! For me, I started with Squanch and I jumped right in as soon as I got it out of the mail and got totally krunked on it! No regrets!
Bula! 
How thick did you make it? I like mine more on the thick side than the watery side. That to me tells me it's strong enough and it's going to be a good session.@Krunkie McKrunkface @Ibbygirl It's been about 30mins now. Definitely a lot more relaxed but no noticable euphoria. So far so good
Also how far apart are you spacing your shells?
I did about 400ml of water to about two tablespoons of kava so it felt a bit more on the the watery side. Wow, deffo felt the krunk after about an hour though! Started to slur my words at one point. And I drank two shells twenty mins apart.How thick did you make it? I like mine more on the thick side than the watery side.

Nice to meet ya TJGood on ya Archer, I take Kava for Anxiety too, as do many others on this forum. I'm new to Kava aswell and I hope to see you around the forums in the future
I have a feeling i'll be around this forum more often from now on. I hope we can both find relief very soon. Bula!yeah it definitely takes some trial and error to get it right, but that's also part of the fun.I did about 400ml of water to about two tablespoons of kava so it felt a bit more on the the watery side.

All in all, I have a feeling this kava journey may be a step in the right direction once I get accustomed to dosages etc
Do you reckon one tablespoon will keep me melo but functional if I take it tomorrow morning? I'd like to feel the subtle lift people speak of.
It sounds like you did it perfectly though. You could go lighter for a daytime session you can also do a second wash for daytime which will be lighter and maybe add a little bit of fresh root to it. Good luck. Sounds like you're really off to a great start. Bula!
Thanks Ibby, Bula!yeah it definitely takes some trial and error to get it right, but that's also part of the fun.
That's a big yes to both of those.All in all, I have a feeling this kava journey may be a step in the right direction once I get accustomed to dosages etc

For most people, Kava isn't a morning drink. Regardless of the strain, all of them have a relaxing/sedating effect, so if anything it's opposite coffee. I typically don't drink Kava (even on the weekends) before about 12 noon otherwise I'll lay around and not do too much all day.
